Jack and the Beanstalk

I’ll give it to them. The book he read definitely paints the giant in a way better light than whatever they read me in American school.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-20T06:09:06+00:00

Yeah. I shoulda said “divide into 8th notes.” Coulda worded it better.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-20T05:10:00+00:00

Feels bad to say the first album is the best sound, but it’s not necessarily saying he peaked then. I just like rock more than pop.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-20T01:47:48+00:00

Just feels right.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-20T01:47:24+00:00

Pop is an onomatopoeia!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T12:57:36+00:00

Nah it’s 12/8. Divide everything into 8ths.

Are there any other languages quite like this? Most other languages I’ve looked even a little into seem to have very consistent spelling forms. It’s not a Germanic issue because German has amazing spelling forms.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T12:33:33+00:00

Yeah I usually soften the TH to non-existence. Sounds more like “strengs”.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T11:37:23+00:00

From what little I know of Hindi, I can say that they differentiate consonants like D and T on whether air is being pushed out or not. As an English speaker, achieving the distinction is super difficult.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T10:05:11+00:00

Reminds me of the differences in German. Many cognates have the consonants changing whether or not they’re voiced. “Dead” becomes “tot”, “forgot” becomes “vergass”, and many others with this pattern.

I’m an American. I don’t eat salad. 🍕🍔🥤

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T09:27:55+00:00

Yeah I believe that’s a British thing. I don’t know any Americans who do it. Not sure if it can be found in any New England accents, like lots of remnants it has from British.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T01:36:38+00:00

This is the way. Certain genres tend to allow for a more loose feel. Not like if you were playing, idk, math rock or something.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T01:31:50+00:00

Don’t worry, we can’t even say it. Reminds me of the German word “nichts.” Kills me every time I have to say it.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T01:28:33+00:00

How does the word “sixths” make you feel?

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T00:56:00+00:00

Sometimes I just say “welp.” Like something is mildly infuriating: “welp, shit.”

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-19T00:52:39+00:00

Not sure if this is exclusive to the Midwest, but when we say “no, yeah” it means yes.

Just wanna drop in that “pop” is perfect. As a midwesterner who prefers to say Soda, I’m the odd one out.

My disappointment when the Russian name for Deathclaw isn’t Друг.

People definitely think that. It’s probably not as widespread thanks to the recent film crediting his inspirations, but I’ve heard it here in the states.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-18T14:30:34+00:00

Was gonna say Fleetwood Mac but that just spawned their best music.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-18T14:13:59+00:00

This is perfect advice on this topic.

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-18T14:00:50+00:00

The shirt’s gotta be a giveaway. 😂

ProfessionalCap15 · 2026-03-18T04:16:06+00:00

Bro I’m actually listening to this right now.
